Chapter 31: Yuan Zhou’s Nickna
Translator: Xiong Guoqi Editor: DesTheSloth
Yuan Zhou opened the restaurant quite early. It was only 4:40 p.m, when most people were still working. Usually, there would be no custors during this ti.
However, once Yuan Zhou opened the door, more than 10 old custors were already waiting. He was stupefied and asked, “Why are you guys so early today?
“It’s not early. It’s already five o’clock. You’re late,” a dozen people rushed into the restaurant all at once while one of them replied Yuan Zhou.
“Don’t change the topic. Boss Yuan, we heard you had launched a new dish?” asked a very cute sister who frequently ca while sitting down.
“Hey, you guys who managed to get the seats, hurry up and order your al please. We are still waiting at the back.”
A dozen or so people ca into the restaurant, of which only eight had gotten the seats while 7 others had to stand and wait. A good-looking teenager urged them in a hurry.
“Little kid, who asked you to co so late? I have to ask clearly first before ordering.” The cute girl turned and made a face to the boy. Then she turned her head and looked at Yuan Zhou in a flattering manner. How could one change faces so quickly?
All the other seated custors didn’t order their al either, instead they were waiting for Yuan Zhou’s reply.
“Yes, that is true. But the new dish is only available in the morning. It’s not for sale at noon or in the evening.” Yuan Zhou returned to his position and put on his snow white apron as he said those words without even raising his head.
“How could it be like that? I wouldn’t mind having Soup Dumplings for dinner.” The cute girl pulled a long face, looking fairly unhappy.
“It seems we won’t be eating the Soup Dumplings tonight. Boss Yuan is still as capricious as ever. Then I’ll have a serving of Egg Fried Rice.” A well-grood man seated beside the cute girl shook his head and laughed helplessly.
“Egg Fried Rice...”
Orders started to co in one after another.
The custors who had been watching the scene were mostly n while the remaining 6 were aged won. They all looked the intellectual type and were not suitable to act cutely, but the young girl could do that. If Yuan Zhou agreed to the girl’s demand, then everybody have the fortunate to savour the Soup Dumplings. That’s why they just watched the girl persuading Yuan Zhou and kept silent.
“Ok. Please wait a while.” Yuan Zhou rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to prepare the Egg Fried Rice.
In the main hall of the restaurant, all the custors started a discussion.
“Why do you think Boss Yuan has such excellent culinary skills?” The good-looking teenager chose a topic and started to talk when he found he couldn’t eat at the mont.
“Boss Yuan is definitely not an ordinary person.” He answered himself before anyone could respond to him.
The cute girl rolled her eyes gracefully, “Nonsense! Of course he isn’t. There is no way ordinary people can cook such tasty food.”
“Haha. On the contrary, I think Boss Yuan not only has a superb culinary skills, but is also the pioneer of the odd rule of not offering a second serving,” said a custor who couldn’t eat his fill.
“That’s right. Other rules are still acceptable, but why doesn’t he allow us to have a second serving?” After rely several discussions, the topic started to change. Now, there was only one main point, that is, if they had the opportunity to have a second serving.
Then everybody started to illustrate different scenarios. However, the more they exemplified, the more they realised it was completely impossible.
“No wonder Boss Yuan is called Compass. He knows only rules.” The cute girl said Yuan Zhou’s nickna as she tapped the table in irritation.
The old custors gave him the nickna of Compass without his knowledge. This nickna was started by Yin Ya. Of course it also brought more custors to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. This story had to be told from the day when the Egg Fried Rice Set ca out.
At that ti, Yin Ya requested another serving of seaweed soup and pickled radish, but was refused by Yuan Zhou. She then left the restaurant angrily. When she got ho and thought about it, she still felt unhappy.
After taking a shower, on impulse, she took a photo of herself without makeup and wrote so words with it [Do you think I’m beautiful?], and then uploaded the photo onto her circle of friends on Wechat.
Pretty girls always drew attention, let alone Yin Ya, who had been a beauty ever since she was a little girl. Though without makeup, she was still a beauty with the white skin, almond eyes, slanted eyebrows, rosy cheeks, and the red lips free from lipstick, a 8/10.
Under this status, she received nurous likes from her circle of friends. Having regained so confidence back, Yin Ya continued to post another status [While eating the Egg Fried Rice Set at noon today, I was refused when I requested another serving of seaweed soup and pickled radish, even when I said I would pay.]
Under this status, there were all kinds of replies.
[ Yin Ya, Honey, let treat you to a al], from her bestie.
[Be good. I’ll take you there to eat whatever you like], from Pretty Ti.
[Next ti let et that boss, who doesn’t know how to be kind to ladies].
There were also replies that didn’t grasp the main point of her status.
[Beauty, it’s a surprise that you eat Egg Fried Rice. Just like us, the masses], from Happy though Poor.
[I should accompany you there. Then you’ll get the extra serving. After all, you are pretty while I am ugly], from So Ugly that Costic Surgery is Needed.
[Do I have the honor to treat you to a al? How about eating kebabs?], from Drinking Beer while Eating Fried Chicken.
Many friends sent private ssages to inquire what happened. Yin Ya then described in detail the situation at Yuan Zhou’s small restaurant. During the process, she gave a nickna to Yuan Zhou, that is, Compass.
There was a Six Dinsional Theory that said you only need 6 connections to know the President. More and more people knew about Yin Ya’s story after being spread about by her friends.
People are curious by nature, hence, most workers around that area would drop by to have a taste. After tasting, they would beco a loyal fan of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. After all, eating is a major part of one’s life.
The restaurant was small and did not have many seats, thus it was always crowded. The custors had already gotten used to it so they would leave imdiately once they finished their al. Nevertheless, the restaurant still had an endless stream of custors, hence there was no ti for rest.
After the first ten or so custors left, other people continued to occupy the seats. Furthermore, those custors that ate the Soup Dumplings in the morning rushed over, filling every corner of the 30 square ters restaurant.
“Young master, please give my wife and I one serving of Soup Dumplings each. I didn’t eat it at noon and have been craving for it,” the old grandpa said spiritedly to Yuan Zhou as he held his wife’s hand while sitting down.
“I’m sorry. The Soup Dumplings are not provided at noon or in the evening.” Yuan Zhou answered patiently when he found it was an old custor from this morning and furthermore, an old man.
The old grandpa was stunned for a mont after hearing Yuan Zhou’s words. He said in a pitiful tone while patting his thigh and pointing to his wife.
“Co on young brother, you can’t do this to . I specifically brought my wife here twice already.”
“Sorry,” was the sa answer, Yuan Zhou refused the request of the old grandpa in a mild tone. On the other side, those custors that rushed over for the Soup Dumplings got antsy and spoke one after another.
“Boss, you really don’t know, I didn’t have lunch today after I ate the Soup Dumplings from this morning. While eating other kinds of at, I am constantly thinking of your at. Those other kinds of at taste flavourless to now,” the man dressed in sportswear touched his head and said earnestly.
“Don’t say my kind of at or your kind of at. It’s really frightening. That’s the at of pigs.” Yuan Zhou was speechless by his words that did not make sense.
“Absolutely right. The Soup Dumplings you prepared was the most delicious out of all of the ones I have ever eaten. No exaggeration, the best in the world.”
The old grandpa, “...”
